Thanks to all for a super convention. The folks at the floor tables, auctions, Splashbar, etc., were great. I am already looking forward to next year.

For those needing a little extra motivation to come... check out three chip bucket finds -- for $6 each.

1) The Treasure Chest $5 is more common than the books say, and the chip has some dings, but I saw it for sale several times for much more than 10 times the bucket price.
2) Nice MGM Grand Reno - a really good buy
3) Check out the Del Webb Mint $5 on the right. I have my other Del Webb Mint below it for comparison. When I was comparing condition to see which to keep, I noticed some inlay differences. The bucket chip had a smaller cream colored inlay, the writing was thinner and darker, and the chip color was a bit lighter. I hit the guides to see what was up. Seems C&W has the bucket chip as a nifty R-9 variation!
